ETERNAL DHARMA

Swami Chinmayanandaji a renowned saint, was met by a a 'secular' minded journalist, who generally bent upon showing Hinduism in poor light, vis a vis other religions, asked a question to Swamiji:
Q: Who is the founder of Islam?
A: Prophet Mohammad.
Q: Who is the founder of Christianity?
A: Jesus Christ.
Q: Who is the founder of Hinduism?

Thinking that Swamiji has been trapped in a ticklish situation with no answer,
the lady journalist enthusuastically proceeded further:
Yes. There is no
founder and hence, Hinduism is not a religion or Dharma at all.
A: Then, Swamiji said: You are right.
Hinduism is not a religion.
It is a Science.

She did not understand that.
Now it was turn of Swamiji to put some questions to journalist lady.
Q: Who is the founder of Physics?
Ans: No one person.
Who is the founder of Chemistry?
Ans: No one person.
Who is the founder of Biology?
Ans: No single person.
Many many persons, from time to time, contributed to the wealth of knowledge of any Science.
Swamiji continued:
Hindu Dharma is a Science, developed
over the centuries, contributed by
saints and sages for giving right
direction to the society.
Islam has only one book -Quran.
Christianity has only one book -Bible.
But for Hinduism, I can take you to a library and show you hundreds of books.
Hence, Hinduism is a scientific religion- called Sanatana Dharma . Eternal Dharma.
